Walk By Faith
Would I believe you when you would say
Your hand will guide my every way?
Will I receive the words you say
Every moment of every day?
Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see
Well because this broken road
Prepares your will for me
Help me to win my endless fears
You’ve been so faithful for all my years
With one breath you make me new
Your grace covers all I do, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see
Well because this broken road
Prepares your will for me
Well I’m broken, but I still see your face
Well you’ve spoken, pouring your words of grace
Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see
Well, because this broken road
Prepares your will for me
Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see
Oh well, because this broken road
Prepares your will for me
I will walk by faith, I will walk by faith
(Hallelu) I will walk by faith, I will walk by
(Well hallelujah, hallelu) yeah, yeah
(Well hallelujah, hallelu) yeah, yeah
(Well hallelujah, hallelu) yeah, I will walk, I will walk, whoa, I will walk by faith
(Well hallelujah, hallelu) I will, oh yeah, I will, well I will walk by faith
(Well hallelujah)

The King of Love My Shepherd Is
To Jesus Christ our Sovereign King
At the 11:45 am mass, we did something a little different. We had a saxophone and trumpet join us. Sorry about the recording. The recorder was too close to the sound and it saturated.

May 31 was Pentecost! We sang “I Say Yes My Lord” as a prayer after Communion. Here is a recording that I made of a rehearsal. Unfortunately, the first verse is cut off due to technical difficulties. But you should get the gist of it.
Vernay printed a neat copy of the song for us. Here is a scan of I Say Yes.
Jarred mailed out the list of music for the summer of 2009. Here is a scan of it.

Here is an excerpt from Singing in the Rain at Kelsey Theater at Mercer County Comm College. You’ll hear Rosie giving diction lessons to the silent star actress (she must have been from Brooklyn). Next you’ll hear Scott giving diction lessons to the star actor followed by the song Moses Supposes. What great singing and dancing.
Happy Easter!
